I AM A RIVER
    I start my journey from the snow-clad mountains   Jumping joyfully, I come down to the plains   The radiant sun shines through my water   I am lovingly called the beautiful earth’s daughter   I flow through many cities, towns and villages   Kids play in me while elders worship me since ages   Giving everyone my water, I feel so gleeful   Please don’t pollute me, be a little careful   Calm and serene, I run through my course   Splashing happily with rocks, I have no remorse   I finally join the ocean so mighty   Always be kind, compassionate and helpful just like me!   -   ANAYA SHETH
